Paul Winter, husband and father, was tragically killed in a hit and run accident on June 5th 2018 in downtown Anchorage, Alaska. He was just 40 years old and leaves behind a young daughter and wife. Paul was an amazing person, deeply loved by family and friends and touched each person who knew him. He could make anyone laugh and was thought of by many as the happiest person they knew. Paul and I met when we were just 7 years old in the South Anchorage neighborhood of Oceanview. We grew up best friends, camping, snowboarding and playing music together. When we were teenagers we formed a tight knit group of friends whom we referred to ourselves as "The Rudys", a cross between the indomitable spirit of the title character in the movie Rudy and the best friend till the end gang in The Goonies. Anything was possible if you believed in yourself. Paul personified that spirit. Please find it in your heart to give to Paul's family in this most dire time of need. There is no donation too small. Rest In Peace brother. - Benji Lee (one of The Rudys)

From Isabel: I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for their love, prayers, and their generosity towards my family. I enjoyed hearing stories about Paul at the memorial and how he made others happy, it helps me so much to know so many friends cared about him.

Thank you thank you thank you so so much everyone! Paul's family is well loved. They are dealing with so much right now and your generosity will hopefully ease the burden, even if it is just a little. Many of you have contributed and did not know Paul, his wife or daughter and were moved by other people's comments about his character and how much goodness and positivity he brought into the world day in and day out. Please share the fundraiser with anyone who might contribute, there is still a long way to go. Sincerest thanks and love - Benji Lee
